Lululemon: Downward dog not required for returns

Lululemon on Wednesday says no demonstrations of yoga or any other positions are needed to return the pricey black yoga pants that the company pulled from shelves last week after finding that they were too sheer.

The Vancouver-based yoga gear maker's statement comes a day after a New York Post report that was widely circulated by the media recounted one woman's tale of being asked by sales staff to bend over to prove that the yoga pants she was trying to return were sheer.

However, a Lululemon spokeswoman said Wednesday that the pants the black "Luon" yoga pants, which account for about 17 percent of all women's pants in its stores, can be returned with no questions asked.
